🎨 Community, Creativity & Opportunity — What’s Coming Next 🎨

We’re excited to share that WATCH Resources is preparing to begin the next phase of a new community mural project—one that creates meaningful, paid opportunities for artists with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Created at WATCH and to be installed at the Law Office of Tamara Polley, this project highlights WATCH’s growing role in commissioned community art. Through murals, mosaics, and other public art installations, WATCH partners with businesses, organizations, and community members to create custom artwork while supporting paid employment, skill-building, and leadership opportunities for our artists.

With permit approved and planning underway, our artists are getting ready to begin the creative process—starting with sketches and design development—before moving into painting and installation.

Projects like this provide our artists with:
✨ Paid employment for their creative work
✨ Hands-on, real-world artistic experience
✨ Increased confidence and independence
✨ The opportunity to leave a lasting, visible mark on our community

WATCH Resources is proud to offer commissioned art projects that bring creativity and community impact together while supporting inclusive employment. We look forward to sharing progress and behind-the-scenes moments as this mural comes to life. 💙

At WATCH, creative projects aren’t just about what’s on the wall —
they’re about opportunity, confidence, and belonging.

When adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities are given space to create, lead, and be seen, the impact reaches far beyond the finished piece.

We can’t wait to share what’s ahead. 💙

💙 2025, We’ll Always Remember You 💙

As we look back on 2025, our hearts are full.

This year was made up of moments like these — artists proudly standing beside their work, laughter shared at community events, hands creating together, voices singing, and friendships growing stronger.

In 2025, WATCH Resources clients:
🎨 Showcased and sold their work through community art displays and vendor events
🐟 Created hundreds of ceramic fish that became symbols of connection, generosity, and joy
🤝 Welcomed community members, partners, and families into our creative spaces
🎤 Celebrated milestones, birthdays, and everyday wins together
🖌️ Contributed to public art projects that now live permanently in our region
👗 Experienced confidence, pride, and independence in ways both big and small

Every photo here represents more than an event — it represents belonging.
Belonging to a community.
Belonging to meaningful work.
Belonging to something bigger than ourselves.

To our artists: thank you for your courage, creativity, and trust.
To our families: thank you for walking this journey with us.
To our staff, board, volunteers, donors, and community partners: thank you for making these moments possible.

These are the memories that carry us forward. And as we step into 2026, we do so inspired, grateful, and ready for what’s next. ✨

💙 More art. More opportunity. More moments like these.
